Thanks for all of your responses. Sounds like the consensus is that the Spyder3 bundle 
would fit the bill. Now, and i'm somewhat hesitant to bring this up in the colorvision 
forum, but today I stumbled upon a new x-rite product (colormunki) that is supposedly 
being released here any day. Since the product lacks reviews thus far I understand that it's 
not possible to get performance feedback. The price is comparable to the Spyder system; 
any initial thoughts? Anyone have experience with any X-Rite product here? Again, I 
apologize if i've offended anyone in the forum ; )
